An embedded system for the automated generation of labeled plant images to enable machine learning applications in agriculture

Beck, Michael A.; Liu, Chen-Yi; Bidinosti, Christopher P.; Henry, Christopher J.; Godee, Cara M.; Ajmani, Manisha (PLOS, 2020-12-17)

A lack of sufficient training data, both in terms of variety and quantity, is often the bottleneck in the development of machine learning (ML) applications in any domain. For agricultural applications, ML-based models ...
The metallic sphere in a uniform ac magnetic field: A simple and precise experiment for exploring eddy currents and non-destructive testing

Honke, Michael L.; Bidinosti, Christopher P. (American Association of Physics Teachers, 2018-06)

We describe a very simple experiment that utilizes standard laboratory equipment to measure the electromagnetic response of a metallic sphere exposed to a uniform ac magnetic field. Measurements were made for a variety of ...
Passive magnetic shielding in static gradient fields

Bidinosti, C. P.; Martin, J. W. (American Institute of Physics, 2014)

The effect of passive magnetic shielding on dc magnetic field gradients imposed by both external and internal sources is studied for two idealized shield models: concentric spherical and infinitely-long cylindrical shells ...
